Thanks @afreport for the report. Could you also attach the logs you get from logcat?
To do this, you will need to run $ adb logcat | grep python with your phone connected to your computer and launch the application.

Thanks a lot @afreport. The problem is indeed with the android notification facade implementation. I haven't had a chance yet to look into the source - https://github.com/kivy/plyer/commits/master/plyer/platforms/android/notification.py.

Ping @brousch ?

brousch · 2014-10-10T17:14:05Z

What's your buildozer.spec look like? I'm specifically wondering about the android.api, android.minapi, android.sdk, and android.ndk settings.

I have had success using:
android.api = 14
android.minapi = 8
android.sdk = 23
android.ndk = 9d

kashifpk · 2014-11-01T17:31:40Z

@brousch

I tried with

android.api = 14
android.minapi = 8
android.sdk = 23
android.ndk = 9c

and then with:

android.api = 14
android.minapi = 8
android.sdk = 23
android.ndk = 9d

Still the same error:

I/python  (14003):  AttributeError: 'android.app.Notification' object has no attribute 'build'
I/python  (14003): Python for android ended.

Using plyer APIs on Linux work but on android it fails. I tried notification and got the same result (working on Linux and crushing the app on android).

Any update on this issue?

mbouden · 2014-11-07T04:52:39Z

Same error with same log message under Kivy launcher

kashifpk · 2014-11-07T12:12:42Z

Could it be that plyer in recent releases or a specific combination of android ndk, sdk and plyer don't work? Any insights on this from the kivy team?

brousch · 2014-11-07T12:16:09Z

When I looked at it briefly a few weeks ago it seemed to only be broken on
Android 4.0. 2.3 and 4.2 seemed OK

I've tested this on android 4.2.1 and 4.03 and it's broken on both. Any ideas on where the problem may be in Plyer? If it's python code then I can try to get it working and then submit a pull request.

dkotik · 2014-11-12T05:43:59Z

Android code in plyer just seems plain broken and redundant (.build is called twice?). I think it also grabs the wrong activity when you're trying to call it from PythonService. In addition, plyer works poorly with pyinstaller, has a major pain-in-the-butt dynamic loader that prevents it from manual inclusion. Altogether, just seems ill-written from the beginning. Today I pulled Android code out of plyer and run it manually within my PythonService like so:

from jnius import autoclass
PythonService = autoclass('org.renpy.android.PythonService')
activity = PythonService.mService
Context = autoclass('android.content.Context')
NotificationBuilder = autoclass('android.app.Notification$Builder')
AndroidString = autoclass('java.lang.String')
Drawable = autoclass(activity.getPackageName() + '.R$drawable')

def nt(title, msg):
notificationService = activity.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE)
noti = NotificationBuilder(activity)
noti.setContentTitle(AndroidString(title))
noti.setContentText(AndroidString(msg))
noti.setSmallIcon(Drawable.icon)
noti.setAutoCancel(True)
notificationService.notify(0, noti.build())

kashifpk · 2014-11-12T15:27:18Z

@vigilantzealot Can you point out the issues with current plyer code? I can try updating it and then have a pull request ready for the kivy team if that's ok with the team?

trivedigaurav · 2014-11-12T15:58:13Z

That would be great. Thanks!

@kashifpk sure. are you plyer project leader? i can send what i have on windows/android once i am done with the implementation. the biggest problem with plyer is its dynamic import statement. It needs to use plain inheritance and leave hooks for extension - really basic one-class inheritance. That would make the code portable, easy to use. private-send me your email, i can get back to you with in a week or two.

kashifpk · 2014-11-12T18:29:12Z

@vigilantzealot No I'm not yet involved with plyer or kivy for that matter. I myself was facing the same issues with plyer. Since it seems that kivy team members are busy focusing on other aspects of the framework (probably for the upcoming release) and this issue has been open for more than a couple of months; I thought I could contribute to it.

You can contact me at: kashif [at] compulife.com.pk

dkotik · 2014-11-12T18:37:49Z

cool, i'll contact you with what i have soon. i am basically rewriting plyer for myself due to annoyances like inability to add maximize window function when notification is clicked (no easy way to patch it in either). For windows, I am using SysTrayIcon.py by Simon as base - it also has capability to make a basic menu.

brousch · 2014-11-12T18:44:52Z

The Kivy team would love to see your ideas about Plyer improvements. The
kivy-dev Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kivy-dev) is
probably the best place to discuss them.

Don't know if it helps but commenting out the following code

    if SDK_INT >= 16:
        noti = noti.build()
    else:
        noti = noti.getNotification()

at https://github.com/kivy/plyer/blob/master/plyer/platforms/android/notification.py#L27 made the notifications work again. I'm ignoring the SDK version here but not calling any of the methods ( build() or getNotification() ) and having it work suggests that this code can be ignored?

dkotik · 2014-11-13T07:20:51Z

You'll see a little bit below those lines noti.build() is called again (not needed). remove ".build()" there

kashifpk · 2014-11-13T14:01:24Z

@vigilantzealot thanks, followed your advice and it's fixed.
